So as mentioned in my last post (HERE), that I belong in business. However, we never really addressed the issue of what we should consider how to sense your potential.
In order to see your potential, you have to revisit your youth. You need to take a re-look at that thought of "I can do anything, and nothing can stop me." Now that you have the weight of being an adult, and have adult responsibilities, you can look forward to some realistic goals. Once you think you can hit some realistic goals as your potential....reach higher. I mean really stretch yourself. If you want to make $50,000 a year, turn that into $500,000. This is called 10xing your dreams and thoughts.
Once you can adjust yourself to this train of thought, the next step is easy. You see, if you believe you have it in you to hit that $500,000 a year, the problem then becomes how. If you have the confidence in yourself that you can really hit that number, then rest is easy.
Do you believe there is a shortage of money? Your not smart enough? Daring enough? Whats your excuse? Because of you do not think you have it in you to hit that number, whatever the number is, you are wrong. Quite honestly, stop making excuses. Your too tall, short, fat, skinny, the wrong color, born into a "middle class"....all excuses. There is more than an abundance of money on this planet, especially in America. When we run low on money in this country...we literally print more. Mr.Benjamin just gets to printing more.
All you have to do is find out who has the money, and how to get closer to that person.
Every single person in our world has the ability to make money. Even the handicapped have the capability, save the person that is legitimately handicapped that is stuck in a vegetable state, or semi-vegetable state. There are exceptions, but take a true look at your excuses, are they really valid? I mean really valid?
Stop looking at the people around you, if you are even reading this with any genuine thought of "is that me?", although everyone has the capability, most people have tricked themselves into thinking they do not want it. What do you want?
For me, I want freedom. I want freedom of choices. I am tired of being a slave. I have been a slave my whole life, the school system, the fact I work for Corporate America, how I was taught to find what I like to do in life, and be satisfied with a middle class situation. I want the freedom to choose what I do with my time, and how I spend it.
I was taught growing up that money doesn't make you happy, quoting Grant Cardone, a quote I fully agree with, "Money doesn't make you happy, but having money doesn't make you unhappy either." I've been in the no money situation, and guess what, I'm not a fan. If I could have money, yet feel the same I do today, my options grow. The ability I have to make my own decisions and the freedom to choose.
All of you have the ability to choose the decision you want in life. My potential is the difference between my current reality and my potential. I have always had the feeling I was meant for more, and could do more. Being stuck in a lower management job has always left me feeling lack luster. I need to move up, I need to grow professionally and personally.
My wanting to grow personally has left me doing many things, and I am truely happy doing these things outside of my regular job. Most people would say I work too much. I work my 44-50 hours a week at my regular job, and then come home and work another 20-30 hours a week.
What others call work and a "trouble", I call it expanding myself, trying everything I can to see what sticks and what I'm good at.
I enjoy writing. That is why I wrote a book, I've talked about writing a book for years, yet I have never done it until this year. I decided I could do it, and was going to do it. Once I decided I could, the only question was how. A quick google search told me how to do it. I spent a couple of hours researching how to do it, and then dove in head first. I had decided I could do it, so all that was left, was to do it.
My book "Build Yourself, Build Your Career - A Different Approach to Promotions" was published earlier this year. It will pay me royalties forever. Do you see how money can be tied to happiness? I've always wanted to write a book and I did. The fruit of what I want, will pay me forever. I will forever have it published and be able to make money off of it.
If you are determined to work to your potential, you can find a way to reap the benefits of it. I am telling you, there is a way to make money off of anything. Working to your potential may leave you feeling better than anything else ever could.
Work to your potential, you will thank me for it. I can promise you.
I love inspirational quotes, in times of awkward silence it is a nice break. Check out this book some cheap but awesome quotes!
